What's new

  • Annual revenue fell 9.3% to ₹184.06 crore, down from ₹202.89 crore.
  • Net profit plunged 64% to ₹0.97 crore, from ₹2.69 crore a year earlier.
  • Board recommended a final dividend of 50 paise per share.

Why this matters

For a company with a market capitalisation of ₹51 crore, this earnings power has halved. The exceptional charge of ₹0.52 crore for labour-code compliance is a small portion of the total profit fall, meaning the core business performance itself weakened considerably.

What we're watching

  • Whether the dividend payout can be sustained at this new profit level.
  • Management commentary on the non-exceptional drivers of the revenue decline.
  • Impact on cash flow and the company's ability to fund operations.

The full read

Gujarat Craft Industries' net profit dropped 64% to ₹0.97 crore for the year ended March 2026. Revenue slipped 9.3% to ₹184.06 crore. The company flagged a one-time ₹0.52 crore charge linked to new labour-code compliance, but that only accounts for about a third of the total profit erosion. For a nano-cap with a market capitalisation of ₹51 crore, this represents a material hit to earnings power. The board still recommended a 50-paise final dividend. The core issue is the underlying business performance, not the one-off charge.
